Precision handwriting,

Just like a high-quality ball-point pen!

The Cregle iPen transforms the iPad into a content creation device, not just a content consumption device. iPen is the first active digitizer stylus that allows you to write with precision directly on the iPad. Unlike the passive digitizer used in the typical iPad stylus, iPen writes like a real pen with accurate positioning and palm rejection features that passive products simply cannot achieve.

With the Cregle iPen’s active digitizer, the attached receiver picks up the iPen’s signal and its precise position as it hovers above the screen (whereas a passive stylus can be located only when the user touches the screen). This crucial advantage allows iPen to actively transmit 60 samples per second to pinpoint the pen’s exact location.

iPen ≠ capacitive stylus

iPen is very unique in three aspects:

Every iPen comes with an external receiver attached to
the iPad UART port, which gathers iPen's ultrasonic and infrared signal that
identifies the precise location of the iPen on the screen. This
revolutionary pen instrument is under Apple’s MFi program and will bear
the logo ‘Made for iPad’ approved by Apple soon.

Our goal is to integrate the iPen with the most popular writing and drawingapps for the iPad. At the initial release, the iPen will work on the followingapps:

We are working with the following partners to integrate
their apps with iPen. You should expect iPen to work on those apps in Feb 2012
or earlier. More
apps are coming! We’re updating our app partner portfolio periodically.
